Read more about Venus Transit at the Venus transit FAQ page
There are five timing points for the event:
External Ingress - Venus first touches the limb of the sun. The transit begins - 22:09:38 UT
Internal Ingress - The first moment that all of Venus is in front of the sun - the full transit begins - 22:27:34 UT
Greatest Transit - The exact middle of the transit. Venus is at its smallest distance from the sun center - 01:29:36 UT
Internal Egress - the last moment that all of Venus is in front of the sun - 04:31:39 UT
External Egress - the last moment that Venus partially blocks the sun. The transits ends (for the next 105 years!) - 04:49:35 UT
You can use this application to locate your exact time (Taken from the following superb site which also deals with Venus transit)
You can also use the following Time table (from NASA). The times are give in UT (Universal Time), you will need to add or subtract hours from UT according to your timezone and your daylight savings time (most northern countries will have daylight time in June, southern countries will not).
