Itinerary description

Trip to Norway, (Oslo-Bergen-Stavanger-Oslo)
Arrival at Oslo airport (Rygge) with ryanair, transfer to Oslo capital with bus, the bus departs 40min after arriving a plane, it takes about an hour. to Oslo. You can pay with a card like almost everything in Norway.
In Oslo it is easy to find a hostel or "hostel" for about € 25 \ 30. I spent the night at the Ankara Hostel.
The train ride from Oslo S (s = central station) to Bergen takes about 7h, if you buy online on the nsb website, you can choose a seat, both the normal and the premium armchair. http://www.nsb.no/?lang=en_US
The journey of this train is spectacular, the whole journey takes place next to lakes, rivers and fjords, reaching a maximum height of more than 1200mts.
In Bergen there is the possibility of climbing several peaks with funicular or cable car. Where the views of the entire bay are incredible.
In Bergen there are also hostels in this case I stay at the Bergen YMCA Hostel. It is right on the second line of the seaport and 2min. of the ferry.
In Bergen I take the ferry to Stavanger, it's 4:30 in the way. The company is norled and has ferries to a large number of ports. The easiest is to look at the schedules on the ticket purchase page.
It really is a spectacular ferry, all the time bordering the coast and passing by charming ports.

In Stavanger I take another train that passes through Kristiansan and continues to Oslo. The journey, even though it is beautiful, does not equal that of Oslo-Bergen.
Curiosities and advice.
Virtually all people speak English.
No cash is needed, at most 10kr for a box office. Everyone accepts a card, you can rarely find one that only accepts a debit card.
In these 2 train journeys I have not had to change.
When buying the train ticket if there is no window seat, try the next day or the next. I found it the 4th time.
The trains have wifi, once connected, you have to put "nsb" in the browser bar and you will get a web where you can enter the username and password that the reviewer gives you. No need to close that web, open a new window or tab.
Trains and ferries are very punctual both in departure and arrival.
Important to bring earplugs if you sleep in hostels.

Hola, quiero hacer el trayecto en tren desde Oslo a Bergen, y tengo una duda a ver si me puedes aclarar, al comprar el billete saliendo de Oslo en el trayecto hay paradas en otras ciudades o pueblos que se puedan visitar? y si se pueden sabrías si con el mismo billete puedes continuar en otro tren el viaje o si hay que ir comprando en cada estación .
He visitado la web que recomiendas y no me aclara eso.
bueno gracias de antemano por la información.
Hola, si que hace mas paradas, una de ellas en una zona de lagos espectacular, pero no creo q t sirva el mismo billete, ya que los billetes van asociados a un sillon del tren.
