Yes, the planet Mercury is visible from an observer on Earth, without a telescope, although it's harder to spot than Venus. Because its orbit is closer to the sun than ours it will not stray far from the sun in the sky (and unlike planets further out than Earth it will also have phases); it is visible just after sunset or before sunrise depending on the latitude and time of year.
