Embu das Artes, or simply Embu, is a municipality in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, in the Itapecerica da Serra Microregion, in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. It is located in the Southwest Zone of Greater São Paulo, in accordance with State Law No. 1,139 of 16 June 2011 and, consequently, with the Integrated Urban Development Plan of the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (PDUI). Its population is 250,720 inhabitants (IBGE 2022). Its area is 70.398 km². It is officially considered a tourist resort (estância turística).
Its curious history has given it an unforeseen contemporary specialisation: being a city especially geared towards welcoming artists. This brings tourism revenue to the city. Because of this, in 2011 the official name of the city was changed from Embu to “Embu das Artes”.
