4 hours is not enough time to go into the city and check out the arc and not risk missing the flight, IMHO.

besides the stress about getting back to the airport will ensure you do not have a good time.

It is not a universal statement that 'stress' will make it worse. Some enjoy it.

There's stress and there's stupidity.  Going into the city on a 6 hour layover would fall into the former.  Doing that on a 4 hour layover into the latter.
