window-switching

I'm trying to get a grip of OS X (SL), but haven't yet found a keyboard shortcut to switch windows of a single application, say, Safari. I can hit F10 and select the right window from there but it feels unnecessarily complicated - and needs a mouse.

So, is there a shortcut to switch windows of a single application?
