The spaceprobe Venera 3 landed on Venus. It was the first spacecraft to reach the surface of another planet, making contact in March 1966. Venera 3 transmitted data back to Earth for a brief period before losing communication.
Venera 3 was the first spacecraft to reach the planet's surface on March 1, 1966. It didn't land as such, more crashed.
The first planet to be explored by a space probe is Venus. Hope this helps. : )
Humans have not visited any planet. They have sent probes to several planets; the first to "land" ("crash into" would be a more accurate term) would be the Soviet Venera 3 which hit Venus in 1966. In 1971, another Soviet craft (Mars 3) landed on Mars.
Venus was "hit" by the soviet Venera 3 in 1966.
The following spacecraft sucessfully flew to Venus (some did not accomplish their mission goals, or were only fly-bys, but did reach the vicinity of the planet): Sputnik 7 - Venera 1 - Mariner 1 - Sputnik 19 - Mariner 2 - Sputnik 20 - Sputnik 21 - Venera 1964A - Venera 1964B - Cosmos 27 - Zond 1 - Venera 2 - Venera 3, Venera 4 - Mariner 5 - Cosmos 167 - Venera 5 - Venera 6 - Venera 7 - Cosmos 359 - Venera 8 - Cosmos 482 - Mariner 10 - Venera 9 - Venera 10 - Pioneer Venus 1 - Pioneer Venus 2 - Venera 11 - Venera 12 - Venera 13 - Venera 14 - Venera 15 - Venera 16 - Vega 1 - Vega 2 - Galileo - Magellan -Cassini - Venus Express - MESSENGER - Planet-C (Venus Climate Orbiter) (See the related link below)

Several spacecraft have observed Venus, including NASA's Magellan spacecraft which mapped the planet's surface with radar, and the European Space Agency's Venus Express which studied the planet's atmosphere and surface. The Soviet Union's Venera program also sent several landers and probes to Venus in the 1970s and 1980s.

The first planet to be visited by spacecraft was Venus. The Soviet spacecraft Venera 1 was the first to fly by Venus in 1961, followed by flybys and landings by subsequent missions from various countries.
The first spacecraft to observe Venus was the Venera 3 in 1962.
