Woah. I've been to Liège a few times, but only passed through. All I've seen is Sclessin (stadium of Standard, the local football team) and the outgoing highway, which I followed biking on the emergency lane.
Other than that they have a nice new railroad station, an aquarium and supposedly a cultural revival for the last few years.

Honestly I wouldn't consider Liège city-trip worthy (probably because I'm flemish and biased), but I'm sure you can spend a lovely day there.
