Venus have been proven a difficult planet to visit. At first glance it seems ideal place:
it is closer than Mars
it is larger than Mars, similar to Earth in size
it has perfect gravity for mankind to feel at home

But it has problems:
the whole planet is having a massive greenhouse effect
air is made from carbon dioxide
there are acid rains everywhere

Soviet shuttle craft landed on Venus in 1976.
It was able to took some pictures and send them back to Earth before it was destroyed.

However researchers have said since 2010 that if they made a Venus craft right now, it would be able to send much better info from Venus than any device sent there in the past. But NASA has constantly been denying money for Venus exploration.

Europeans had sent a Venus Express to circle around Venus in 2014. There was no landing craft but they were able to take some measures of the planet itself.

Also the Japanese space craft named Akatsuki is on Venus right now, taking pictures of the planet itself. But there is no landing craft made by the Japanese either.

It is impossible to see through Venus atmosphere with any human designed measuring device. We really need to land there.
