One incarnation of the AdS/CFT correspondence is the duality between the symmetric product orbifold of T4 and superstrings on AdS3xS3xT4 with one unit of NS-NS flux. Compared to other instances of AdS/CFT, this duality is much simpler and can in principle be fully understood. I will give a broad overview of the inner workings of the duality from a worldsheet CFT point of view, physical lessons and connections to integrability. ---- Part of London Integrability Journal Club.
