Bergen is served by a railway line which runs from Oslo. The railway line is operated by the Norwegian State Railways. Beautiful views over the mountains, the journey takes about six to eight hours depending on if you take an express or regional train. The railway station is located on the east side of downtown, most attractions and hotels are well within walking distance.
There are fast boat services from Stavanger and several other communities north of Bergen. Because these passenger ferries stops at various small towns on the way there, you get a great view of the coast, and of the islands in front of it. Fjord1 runs ferries north of Bergen, Tide runs services south of Bergen (including Stavanger-Bergen connection). The boat terminal is located on Nordnes, across the bay from the famous Bryggen.
Bergen is the southern terminus for Hurtigruten, which is a week-long passenger ship route all the way to Kirkenes in the far north of Norway. The terminal is located on Puddefjorden, somewhat west of downtown.
There are car ferries which run to and from Newcastle, northern Denmark, Shetland, Scotland, the Faroe Islands and Iceland, companies running the various lines are DFDS Seaways, Fjord Line, Color Line and Smyril Line. The terminal is the Skoltegrunn pier, very close to Bryggen. This is perhaps the best option if you intend to bring your car with you to Bergen and don't want to drive across the mountains from the east.
Bergen's International Airport is located 19 km south of the city. The main international destinations are Copenhagen, and Amsterdam. There are international flights to various cities in the United Kingdom (such as London, Edinburgh and Aberdeen), Prague, Paris, various cities in Spain and some other places. There are also a number of domestic flights, and Oslo, Stavanger and Sandefjord provide additional international destinations. The main carriers in Norway are SAS and the low cost carrier Norwegian Air Shuttle. The Dutch KLM has flights to Amsterdam where there are several connections. There is a frequent airport bus service which takes about 30-40 minutes to downtown (costing NOK 72). Taxis are also available but they cost much more (NOK 300-400 to downtown). There are some regular local buses occasionaly going to and from the airport. They have a limited space for luggage and take longer time, but are a little bit cheaper than the airport bus.
