Abstract Various exact two-dimensional conformal field theories with $AdS_{2d+1}$ target space are constructed. These models can be solved using bosonization techniques and are examples of a more general novel type of coset construction. Some of them can be used to build perturbative superstring theories with AdS backgrounds, including $AdS_5$.
