Is it worth leaving?
As a rule of thumb, allow your round trip (about 64 minutes here) plus two hours for security and immigration on the way back. With a 6-hour layover or more you can comfortably reach Rome and back. With less, you're better off staying airside.
The non-stop Leonardo Express is the stress-free choice for a quick Rome visit.
Before you leave — check you can
Whether you can pass immigration on a layover depends on your nationality and the country's transit rules, not just your time. Always confirm with the official source for your passport before you plan to leave: UK FCDO travel advice and the Italy guide.
