If you are not using the Bookmarks Bar on Safari then you have the option to turn off the display of Bookmarks Bar. This would give more space for the web page browsing and you can still access the saved bookmarks using the Safari browser menu items.

The Safari browser has a menu bar with menus such as File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks etc.. and it is available on the top of the browser as shown below.

But if your Safari browser does not display the Menus then you can un hide menu bar using the Safari General Settings menu option.

Click on the General Settings menu available at the top right hand side of the browser. From the list of displayed menu, select the menu with label as Show Menu bar.

This would display the Menu bar at the top of the Safari browser.
