Solution 1 - .Net
Open web.config file and find the System.Web.Mvc assembly definition:
assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0 ..."
It's an MVC3 as you see. Via web you can use MvcDiagnostics which is similar to phpinfo() functionality in PHP.

Select the System.Web.Mvc assembly in the "References" folder in the solution explorer. Bring up the properties window (F4) and check the Version

Another solution is to search for mvc in nuget (right click on your MVC project in visual studio and select "Manage Nuget Packages").
This will show you the version currently installed -
And it'll also allow you to update the MVC version -
Solution 4 - .Net
typeof(Controller).Assembly.GetName().Version
Gives the current version programmatically.

I had this question because there is no MVC5 template in VS 2013. We had to select ASP.NET web application and then choose MVC from the next window.
You can check in the System.Web.Mvc dll's properties like in the below image.

Well just use MvcDiagnostics.aspx It shows lots information about current MVC instalations, and also helps with debuging. You can find it in MVC source or just Google for it.

In Solution Explorer open packages.config and find Microsoft.AspNet.MVC:
package id="Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc" version="5.2.3" targetFramework="net461"
From the above we can see it's an Asp.Net MVC 5.2.3 Version.
Moreover packages.config file also helps us to track all the installed packages with their respective versions.
