# Visit webpages

There are several ways to go to a webpage: clicking a link, clicking a bookmark or Top Site preview, or typing a webpage address.

Use the address field

1. Highlight any text that’s currently in the address field (at the top of the Safari window).

2. Type all or part of the webpage’s title, name, or address (URL). If you’ve previously visited or bookmarked the page, Safari automatically completes the field with the most likely match.

3. If the site Safari suggests is correct, press Return or Enter to connect to the site. If it is not the site you intended to visit, check the list of suggestions, drawn from your bookmarks and browsing history. Click the site you want to visit.

Use a link

Click the link. Links to webpages appear in a number of places:

- Webpages: There are very few dead ends on the web; most pages contain links to several other pages. Click the links to move around and explore.

- Email messages: People often send links in email messages. Click these only if you trust the source.

- Other documents: Documents that aren’t webpages can contain links that you can click to open webpages. If you see something that looks like a web address but it’s not clickable, try this: copy the address, open Safari, paste the address into Safari’s address field (at the top of the Safari window), and press Return or Enter. If the address is valid, Safari opens the webpage that matches it.

Use a bookmark

- Click the bookmark in the bookmarks bar across the top of the Safari window.

- Choose the bookmark from the Bookmarks menu.

To view and organize your bookmarks, click the open-book icon in the bookmarks bar. For information about adding and managing bookmarks, see:
