According to NASA, in order to view a planet without instruments, it must be a few degrees above the horizon, with an altitude of 10 degrees or more being considered ideal.

According to NASA, it will be more noticeable at dusk or dawn, when the sky is still somewhat dark. When a planet appears too low in the sunset’s glare, it becomes very hard to spot.

The other two planets will be very close to the sun and may not be seen at all or they will only be seen for a short period in the bright evening light. Following Saturn and Neptune, Venus and Mercury will be the closest to the horizon. Jupiter and Uranus will be quite high in the sky.
