Rackets Pro - Nacional Padel

Nacional Padel sits inside the century-old Clube Nacional de Natação, between Lapa and São Bento in one of Lisbon's smartest neighbourhoods. The padel section took the club's historic name and runs seven modern courts — three covered, four open-air — right in the city centre. A terrace looks out over the rooftops, so you can play and stay for a drink without leaving the building. The Rackets Pro academy staff includes Luís Pereira, João Vasco, Sebastião Thiran, Pablo and Romero, coaches drawn from Portugal's competitive padel scene; director Fábio Gomes oversees the site. Beyond padel you get The Code gym, a sports bar, discounted parking and court hire through the wider Rackets Pro booking system. Saturday social tournaments run regularly, and the club accepts Urban Sports Club members. Google reviews are split: many praise the courts and atmosphere, others mention booking cancellations, dress-code enforcement and reception inconsistency — worth confirming your slot before you travel.
