The planets will be just 10° over the horizon, so better make sure to have a look from the top of a hill. You can estimate an angle of 10° with the width of your fist while you arm is stretched out [1].

The planets will be visible in the south-west. You can look up a simulation of the scene in advance using Stellarium, a free astronomy simulation software [0]. Keep in mind that it does not show the local surroundings.
