If you're in a sufficiently dark area you'll see them whether you like it or not!
My first experience after moving to Australia was wandering around some open country not far from a mid-sized town - after 10 minutes my eyes adjusted and I thought I was seeing two clouds in an otherwise clear sky. After a few minutes more I was amazed by two naked eye galaxies sitting there. I didn't have a telescope or binoculars then but the memory has always stuck with me.
