The `Menus` method on a `Site` object returns a collection of menus, where each menu contains one or more entries, either flat or nested. Each entry points to a page within the site, or to an external resource.
{{% note %}}
Menus can be defined and localized in several ways. Please see the [menus] section for a complete explanation and examples.

{{% /note %}}
A site can have multiple menus. For example, a main menu and a footer menu:
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
[[menus.main]]
name = 'Home'
pageRef = '/'
weight = 10
[[menus.main]]
name = 'Books'
pageRef = '/books'
weight = 20
[[menus.main]]
name = 'Films'
pageRef = '/films'
weight = 30
[[menus.footer]]
name = 'Legal'
pageRef = '/legal'
weight = 10
[[menus.footer]]
name = 'Privacy'
pageRef = '/privacy'
weight = 20
{{< /code-toggle >}}
This template renders the main menu:
```go-html-template
{{ with site.Menus.main }}
<nav class="menu">
{{ range . }}
{{ if $.IsMenuCurrent .Menu . }}
<a class="active" aria-current="page" href="{{ .URL }}">{{ .Name }}</a>
{{ else }}
<a href="{{ .URL }}">{{ .Name }}</a>
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
</nav>
{{ end }}
```
When viewing the home page, the result is:
```html
<nav class="menu">
<a class="active" aria-current="page" href="/">Home</a>
<a href="/books/">Books</a>
<a href="/films/">Films</a>
</nav>
```
When viewing the "books" page, the result is:
```html
<nav class="menu">
<a href="/">Home</a>
<a class="active" aria-current="page" href="/books/">Books</a>
<a href="/films/">Films</a>
</nav>
```
You will typically render a menu using a partial template. As the active menu entry will be different on each page, use the [`partial`] function to call the template. Do not use the [`partialCached`] function.
The example above is simplistic. Please see the [menu templates] section for more information.
